Samsung's next generation handset under its Note series, dubbed the Note 4, is one of the most hyped devices set to launch later this year. Although the Galaxy Note 3 was a successful smartphone of 2013, and it continues to sell exceptionally well. Meanwhile, Samsung fanboys await anxiously to get their hands on the Galaxy Note 4, which according to media reports could be launched at this year's IFA Berlin tech show.

Details about the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 are rather scarce at the moment, since Samsung just announced its Galaxy S5 last month. With that being said, however, we're not able to confirm or deny the existence of the Note 4.
